How "a Young Californian Managed His
Best Girl
A grown-up man. a man Of mature
years, would not have done it. He
would have put his arm around her and
said gently:
Dear, l don't like your painting and
powdering. 1t doesn' make you look
nice"
And she would have told him that
she thought it did, and if he didn't
like it he could go and get another girl,
or something like that. At the best
she wouldn't have taken any notice OF
the remonstrance. But he was a young
man. and that was not his way. He
was going to take her to the theater,
and, knowing her peculiarity, he put a
powder puff and a box Of rouge in his
pocket When she came down stairs
he saw she was decorated as usual. He
Immediately pulled out his rouge and
powder and painted himself up.

q dispatch from Lyons, N. T.. stating
that there are over 100000 pounds OF
peppermint oil i'll Wayne County, and

Peppermint is q small crop com
pared with wheat or corn, he contin-
ued, '.and it is grown on.a small terri
tory, Wayne County, in this State,
producing nearly all the peppermint
oil that is used III the world These
facts make it q tempting field for spec
! ulation.'
!, "How do the speculatcrs operate?
/, They begin just as that dispatch in
dicares; first, by saying that there is a
large quantity Of oil held over from
last year, which is not true, then they
| overstate the amount on hand, and
finally they clinch the matter, by saying
that only $1.SO pound is offered.
That price may be offered, but the
Farmers who produce the oil are too
sharp to sell at less than 50. so a pound,
and they will hold it and beat the spec

''Why is not more of it raisedp'
''Tbe mint requires peculiar soil and
special care is needed both in the rails
ing Of the plant and the distilling Of the
oil. The crop is grown on land that is
moist and has a rich, sandy loana. The
mint is planted in burrows thirty inches
apart, and while growing requires q
great deal of cultivation, as every weed
has to be kept out. Otherwise the oil
would not be good. When full grown
and in bloom it is cut with scy the
| and hauled to the still as soon as it is
wilted.
Large steam tubs with tightly fitting
covers are used to hold the mint, which
is tramped down thoroughly. The
steam is turned on at the bottom. and,
passing upward through the mass Of
mint, vaporizes the oil and carries it
out through {, pipe at the top. This

is to draw off the water from the bot

Eyes, Germany produces a little,
but we send more to Germany than
Germany raises, and we furnish not
only England and France, but Russia
and Austria as we'll. The greatest use
for it is in confectionery. Peppermint
lozenges are eaten from one end Of
the globe to the other, and you can
form some idea Of the quantity of them

An Anniversary Dinner Given in

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, October 2s.-Earl Spencer,
speaking at Bedford to-day, said that
no doubt extreme men, both in Eng
lanl and Ireland, are ready to com
nit dynamite outrages, but nothing is
more mischievous than the attempt to
confuse the Irish in one body by mix
ing up the party of Parnell with the
dvnamiters. (Cheers.) He was
happy to think that such efforts had
failed. The Parneilites had no greater
enemies than O'Donovan Rossa and
his crew. Hear. HearD If the
Liberal policy of concilIation
prevailed, it would end their
crimes, but if coercion prevailed any
length of time he saw the greatest
danger from secret societies reviving
and extremists, with dynamite, com
ing to the front. The present Liberal
policy was not founded on despair,
unless it was'the despair Of old, worm
out methods. 1t was the policy Of
Bright, and they had enough conf
dence in the Irish people to throw
upon them the responsibility OF gov
erning their own country. Cheers.

THE TELEGRAPM TROUBLE.
Gould Gives an opinion on the
Situation,

NEW York, October aS.--The next
Important step toward the complete
settlement of the telegraph war was
taken yesterday, when an agreement
between the Mutual Union and Postal
Telegraph companies was malie.
Gould said, in reply to an inquiry
whether the agreement meant the
absorption Of the Mackay land and
ocean lines: II guess not. AS un-
derstand the situation, the Mutual
Union and Postal companies have
agreed to advance rates to something
near our riff. They have been
fighting each other, but the Western
Union is not greatly Interested. /
have not heard OF any -.rtvance in
cable rates"
BAD FOR THE OPERATIONS.
Advices from points in the South
say that the offices of the New York
aud Southern Telegraph Company are
being closed in all cities reached BY
the Southern line. A few hundred
more operators will be thrown out,
and rates in that territory will he
fixed by the Western Union.
RESULT OF THE ROW. lf
Officials of the Postal Telegraph
Company have formally announced
that as a result OF the Conference yes
terday the rates Of the Postal Com
pany will be advanced to the West
ern Union standard on all messages
under % cents and when the standard
is higher than that figure the compet-
ing companies will make slightly low
er rates. The advance will
take effect on the FIRST of November.

SAN Francisco, October 2S.-Pro-
lessor Viola, agent of the Minister of
Agriculture of France, and Il. Lam
son Scrihner, attached to the United
States Department of Agriculture were
at San Jose yesterday and Wcdnes-
day. The professor it is claimed found
that phylloxera exists in two small
vineyards almost within the city limits
and we'll developed specimens were
obtained, to be certain that no mis-
take was made. Vineyardists through
out the valley are alarmed and every
effort will be made to stamp out the
pest. Mr. Scribner at first thought
the fungoid disease identical with
peronospera or anthracnose, but he
has found that he was mistaken. He
cannot identify it. The fungus at
tacks foliage, and vines die in the
course of two or three years.
HOME VINEYARDS THREATENED.
All the vineyards in the region near
Anaheim, Orange and Tustin are
threatened. The unknown disease
has made it's appearance at Nina and

SAN FRANcIsco, October 2S.-Unit-
ed States District Attorney Carey has
received telegram from the Sheriff
Of Mendocino county, informing him
that he was gathering posse to cap
ture Captain Shaw, whom General
Howard had sent in command of the
United States troops to eject sheep
herders and others from Round val
ley, an Indian reservation in this
State. The telegram also states that
the State Court issued Il writ Of in
junction ordering Captain Shaw to de-
sist from removing trespassers from
the reservation.
CAREY's ACTION.
District Attorney Carey advised
General Howard to order Captain
Shaw to surrender to the Sheriff,
which General Howard refused to do
without an order from the President
or Secretary of War, whereupon Ca
rey sent dispatch to the Attorney
General at Washington, in which lie
reviewed the above facts and stated ::
"If the Sheriff persists and General
Howard continues to refuse following
my advice, it will proba bly, result in
bloodshed.
LATEsT-THE sIIEHIFr's ACTION.
Sheriff Osborne has returned from
a trip to Round Valley, where he
went to arrest Captain Shaw under an
order from the Superior Court OF this
county. The Sheriff served the war
rant OF arrest, which commanded him
to bring the body OF. Captain Shaw
before the court for contempt. The
Captain refused to be arrested, not
recognizing the jurisdiction OF the
court. 1t was intimated that he (the
Captain) might obtain bail, but the
latter persisted that he needed no bail,
as he was not under arrest.
IN TIE MEANTIME
No more evictions than those OF
Handy and Johnson have been made,
as Captain Shaw will give the tres
passers an opportunity to remove
quietly.

Associated Press Dispatches TO the HERALD
SAN FRANCISCO, October 28.-The
Zealandia arrived this morning from
Sydney, Australia via Hong Kong and
Honolulu. The New Zealand Herald
OF October 9th contained the following
self explanation letters.
BRISBANE, October 5.--The German
war ship Adler, has arrived at Cooks
town from Samoa with the ex-King
Malietoa on board. The ex-King was
transferred from the Adler to the Ger
man war ship Albatross, which sailed
this morning. The destination Of the
Albatross is not known, but issupposed
to be for German New Guinea.
SYDNEY, October 5.-News to hand
from Cookstown states that the Ger
man warship Adler arrived there from
Samoa and wentup to the harbor yes
terday, the strictest isolation being
maintained with the shore. Shortly

understood that the Albatross will call

tions.
The same paper copies eorrespon-
dence from Tonga to the. Fiji Times,
written under date, September 23d.
The letter is evidently from Il German
standpoint, but paragraph thereof
tends further to explain the recent
events.
PARTICULARS OF TIE AFFAIR
Says the correspondent: "Thc Lu-
beck arrived from Samoa yesterday,
being late two days in consequence Of
having such large quantities Of stores
to discharge for the German squadron.
Malietoa surrendered himself to the
German commodore at the wish Of the
American and English residents and to
save the bloodshed which would other
wise have ensued. The group is placed
firmly under n protectorate, with Ger
man Tamases installed as king Under
the German Consul. The French man
of-war Decres arrived the day that the
Lubbock left Apia.
FUTURE POLICY.
German Officers in Apia were loudly
announcing it as their intention 10
come down in few days time and
proclaim u protectorate over the Ton
gas and it is quite likely that this also
will be done before the next steamer

gwen to due process of law as used
in the fourteenth amendment, would
make it simply ridiculous and friyol-
Gus. If any State may enact due pro-
ccsses OF law according to that,
mans life may be taken and not Il
single right or immunity OF citizenship
can protect him."
RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS.
General Butler then proceeded to the
consideration of the special and pecu-
liar questions raised by the cases of
Fielden and Spies, who are foreigners.
He contended that the treaties were
the supreme law OF the land and that
these prisoners We're entitled by virtue
OF the treaties with Germany and
Great Britain to all the rights and
privileges OF American citizens at such
time when the treaties were made.
Suppose a citizen OF the United States
should 20 to Ireland and make re-
marks about a republican form OF gov
ernment, be arrested and tried by the
Crimes act in violation OF the treaty,
would we not stand up and say that
this man must be tried by q fair and
impartial jury?" Ii this should hap
pen General Butler hoped that the
English authorities would not be able
to hold up to him the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court sustain
ing trial of an Englishman by the
local law OF State which was nothing
but a swamp and bowling wilderness
at the time the treaty was ratified.
ALL OVER.
This concluded General Buffers re-
marks who then thanked the Court
for its indulgence and took his seat.
The Chief Justice called the next
case on the docket, and then the hear
ing of the motion OF the Anarchists
for writ OF error was over.
POPULAR OPINION.
1t seems to be the general Impress
ion among those who have paid the
closest attention to proceedings that
the counsel for the State had alto
gether the best of the argument and
that the writ of error will not be
granted.
